I assume gpa is similar to Kleopatra. The key principle of PKI (Public
Key Infrastructure) is to add the recipients key to your local keyring.

1) search for the key by long ID or email adress with any of the above
2) import the key and verify that it is the right one (ask your
recipient out of band)
